Registration

Distributor
Prospective Distributors receive Sign up Kit free from sponsor.
In the Sign up Kit, one of the two legally required documents is included. Sponsoring distributors should always explain about the summary of Amway business to their prospective distributors using this document.
Prospective Distributor completes the application form and submits to Amway Japan attaching a transferring slip with the payment for registration fee.
After the completion of registration procedures at Amway Japan, an Identification Card and Welcome Kit, which is the other of the two legally required documents will be sent to the address on the application form in a few weeks.

A prospect can also register online via www.amwaylive.com (web or mobile site), after receiving a Sign Up Kit for free and an explanation about the Amway Business Outline contained in the Kit from the sponsor. Once the online registration process is completed, a Distributor Number will be immediately issued. The prospect will pay 3,600 yen registration fee by cash on delivery when receiving a Welcome Kit and an ID Card at a later date. If the prospect chose credit card or Yahoo Wallet to pay 3,600 yen registration fee, Welcome Kit and ID Card will be sent by post.
